platelet-rich fibrin PRF Edmonton
Platelet-rich fibrin, or PRF, represents the next wave in dermal fillers. It harnesses the power of a patient’s own blood to boost collagen production and foster cell regeneration. To create PRF, we take a small blood sample from the patient and use a centrifuge to isolate the platelets from other blood cells. Then, we inject these platelets into the treatment area. As a result, these platelets release growth factors that drive collagen production and cell renewal.
How PRF Works to Rejuvenate Your Skin
PRF utilizes a high concentration of platelets, growth factors, and white blood cells from your own blood. Unlike PRP, PRF is processed without anticoagulants, allowing it to form a fibrin matrix that releases growth factors over time. This natural process promotes collagen production, tissue regeneration, and overall skin improvement.
Why Choose PRF Over Traditional PRP?
PRF offers a more natural approach to skin rejuvenation compared to Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP). With no chemical additives, PRF provides longer-lasting benefits due to the slow-release properties of growth factors. This method enhances tissue healing and collagen synthesis more effectively than PRP alone.
